"My friend Sam and I booked a trip with Ross last year. We took two teenagers with us and man what a trip! Wahoo, Dorado, Marlin,
Snapper, you name it, we caught it! I want to point out that Ross and Russell were not only great fishermen with loads of knowledge,
they were friendly, customer oriented and very attuned to what we wanted to do. Ross placed an emphasis on the kids and Russell worked
feverishly to see that everything was as it should be. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Ross.
I will be booking again for sure!"

"Wow, where to start, what a trip! One of my best friends and I went on vacation last summer with our families, we booked
a trip with Capt. Ross to take the boys on thier first offshore fishing trip. Both boys love to fish but really had no idea what
they were in for, to see the look on thier faces when they hooked up with wahoo and durado was unbelievable, we had a great time.
Capt. Ross and Russell put us on the fish, everything from grouper to blue marlin and lots in between! The boat, equipment,
electronics, bait and service is first rate, Contender boat with Yamaha power, Shimano reels, all the good stuff. Capt Ross kept
us on fish while Russell kept the boat clean and baits in the water and he knows what the fish want. The McElwee's are among the
nicest, most hospitable families I have ever met. Thank you Capt Ross and Russell, I WILL see you soon."

"Taking my 10 year old son and wife out on an offshore fishing trip was going to be tricky since this was my sons
first offshore trip. We hooked up with Captain Ross McElwee. I thought this would be the best chance of my family having
a good time with the added benefit of catching fish. The weather was cool and the wind was blowing a bit, but it was an
enjoyable ride to Capt Ross' fishing spots. We trolled around shrimp boats and fished around some platforms for tuna and
snapper. Once the tuna bite was on, my son was hooked for life. He brought in several tuna by himself. I was quite proud of him.
As we starting trolling around a shrimp boat, my wife hooked up and we knew it was something big. The drag was screaming and the
fish just wasn’t coming to the surface. She fought that fish for over 30 minutes before we knew what and how big it was. Captain
Ross kept asking her if he could help and of course she said “NO”. He was the perfect captain. Finally a huge hammerhead shark was
on board, and my wife was give out. After a quick trip back to the dock and cleaning all the fish, it was nice to just sit back,
have a few drinks, and reminisce about all the fish we had caught and the exceptional time we had. Thanks to Capt Ross for giving
my family the experience of a life time. You can't go wrong with Captain Ross. He is a top notch captain with quality equipment."
